    They are very friendly at the drive through and when I asked if I could cover my bean burrito w cheese, they said yes! Prices are cheap and food always comes out hot and the same. I always get the bean burrito (89 cents), beefy 5 layer (1.49) , or soft taco (99 cents). I give it a 4 because if price for food, quick, and the quality never changes. I do not recommend eating inside. It's a tiny place and looks like it hasn't been renovated in a long time. I feel cramped in there.

    I will not apologize for my obsession with Taco Bell!!! Three words: cheesy gordita crunch. Staff seems genuinely happy to be there and doles out more than enough sauce whenever I request "a ton" of mild sauce. This location hasn't been updated, but as such, has a nice outdoor seating area.

    Decent food after a night of drinking, but I'm allergic to tomatoes & they added tomatoes to my order. I specifically said no tomatoes on my order it's not that difficult. Figure it out, it's not that complicated. They get 4 stars, because the Doritos tacos are amazingly delicious.

    When in a hurry I usually go through the fast food drive-through at Taco Bell. The staff is usually great and make sure to take care of me as I go on my way. I wish the parking/drive through situation space was better, but it still gets the job done as far as quick take out!

    One of my fast food spots in my lunch rotation, it's quick, cheap, and filling. I order my usual: 7 layer burrito $2.29 Bean burrito $.99 yelp.com/biz_photos/taco… yelp.com/biz_photos/taco… It's an OK spot for quick eats. The only bad part is the parking...there's only a few spots and when it gets busy at lunch, you have nowhere to park. Return Factor - 75%

    All Taco Bells taste great and are the perfect snack but this location also provides great customer service and fast drive thru lines. You can't ask for much more at a fast food chain where the food tastes the same wherever you go. This one has a unique, old style look to it and only has a drive thru or walk up and eat outside option. Nice :-)

    If you are in need of fast crunchy tacos, taco bell is the spot. It is what is is! They are trying to amp of the brand with the new Doritos tacos, which are pretty good, but nothing to rave about. I usually get the standard crunchy tacos and a pintos & cheese cup. I can fell satisfied for under $4. This location is probably the original design of Taco Bell and it's real small inside but has a good size outdoor seating area. I like that some things are not modernized.

    Descent Taco Bell. Friendly service. A little tiny on the inside but pretty quick. Frequent it enough and have enjoyed it thus far.

  • Jay M.

    It's Taco Bell. But for taco bell this location has great service, food was fast & delicious. Only thing I didn't like was how small the inside dining section was but if the weather was nice the patio would be worth sitting at.

    Probably...no, definitely the best Taco Bell I've ever been to. The staff is super friendly (minus an older blonde woman), and I've never had a complaint with the food. Once I had to wait particularly long to receive my food. My impolite friend had already finished their food before I got mine. So....4 stars. However, the other day was "customer appreciation day." There were balloons everywhere, and the employees seemed extra friendly. I asked if that meant they were giving out free drinks, and the cashier said, "I could probably work something out for you," with a twinkle in his eye. I got a free drink, and my impolite friend had to pay for his. 5 stars. Hat's off to the manager at this location. He runs a tight ship, and it seems like the employees really enjoy working for him.

  • Scout S.

    It's a simple...but dirty, cheap pleasure...a bean burrito at taco bell! Inexpensive, always the same since I was a kid, always fresh,hot and delicious in its own sick way. I'm not embarrassed to admit this...but don't hold it against me:) Whenever I want to do a little sneaky binge look for my car here...don't forget to order the mini churros...not a good date food;0

    I had to review this taco bell not for the food, but for the dude working the drive through. I'm pretty sure his name is Wayne and he is the friendliest, most upbeat drive through guy I have ever seen in my life. He definitely makes going here easier. I wish everyone loved their job as much as he does!

  • Steven S.

    On a lighter note I have to give it up for my favorite fast food. This is as cheap as food gets, but I love it, and probably have ate here once a week for the past 15 years. When I was unemployed I literally survived on bean burritos, soft tacos, and hot sauce. I believe If every country had a decent method of distribution, Taco Bell would solve world hunger. As far as this location its open late, built for drive thru, and looks old school.

    A++++++ for this Taco Bell. I remember the days when this location could NEVER get my order right, never gave me correct change, was slow, rude, ignorant, didn't speak any English, etc etc etc. TIMES ARE A CHANGIN'. Starting about a year ago, it's like a light went off - BING! - "wow, maybe we should aspire to not get brutalized by corporate and the FDA every month!!" Once upon I time, I ordered in Spanish... it was the only way I was going to place my order in under ten minutes, and my only hope of it being correct. No more! They hired people who spoke great English (no, that's not me being racist - I'm just saying it's hard as heck to order through a crackl-y mic with a language barrier!). And, most of them are bilingual and still speak Spanish. They just hired newer people who aren't as accented. They started actually CLEANING inside, so that when you go in, it's spotless rather than 'try not to look at the floor, otherwise you'll be too grossed out to eat your food and GOD, whatever you do, don't look at the food prep stations if you want to have an appetite.' They hired "Wayne" - a way-too-peppy-for-how-late-it-is drive thru kid (young, blondish, and very nice) to remind you to give them all 7s on their telephone survey (and, hey, I do... because they DESERVE IT). He smiles, says thank you, and reminds you to have a good day. God, I wish I had energy like that guy. They started paying attention to what you order, and ***SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK*** actually giving it to you! If I order my burrito supreme without red sauce, IT COMES WITHOUT RED SAUCE (once upon a time this would have made me poo my pants since it would have indicated that I had somehow gone through a portal to an alternate universe)! Plus, if I order one regular burrito supreme, and one without red sauce, one of the little wrappers says " -RED" on it. They label it now - this is unheard of! Can you tell I like burrito supremes =) ?? So, for all of you South Scottsdale-ites who wrote this place off, veered clear, or drove further to a different Taco Bell in hopes of getting barely less lousy service, TURN AROUND! Go back! Give this place another try. Check out my reviews - I'm highly critical, and once irritated, I hold a grudge. So, seriously, trust me on this... This Taco Bell has changed. I'd give it ten stars if I could. Wow, what a turnaround. Kudos to whoever obviously whipped the spot back into shape. You have my business back.

    This is a Taco Bell. I will not talk much about the food, because it is a Taco Bell. You know what you can expect. What I -will- say is I have never had anything screwed up here. I've been to Taco Bells where ordering a 7-layer burrito (one of my favorite items) means you get something that tastes entirely of guacamole, because they put twice as much of it in as they should. I've never encountered that here; everything is balanced correctly, and whatever menu item you order will come to you exactly as it should. So with that out of the way (and it hopefully being clear that this rating is not about the food itself; don't expect fine mexican dining because it's a 5-star, it's still a Taco Bell), on to why this review: What sets this Taco Bell apart from others (besides, obviously, the 'making the food right') is the service. As other people have indicated, it is good. Very good. The people are friendly. Almost too friendly; it can feel a little cloying sometimes. But that's still far, far better than the alternative, and even when I find it a tad irritating, I still leave with a smile on my face after having dealt with the people here. They're doing something right when it comes to customer service.

About Taco Bell

Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.

The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.

Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
